meanings of the names Zamaan (either pronounced as Za-Maan or Tha-Maan) for a Male and Zameenah (either pronounced as Za-Meen-Ah or Tha-Meen-Ah) for a Female.

Question

Please assist me with meanings of the names Zamaan (either pronounced as Za-Maan or Tha-Maan) for a Male and Zameenah (either pronounced as Za-Meen-Ah or Tha-Meen-Ah) for a Female

Answer

Zamaan- Means time, while we could not find any meaning for thamaan.

"Thameen" is a name for a male and means "precious and valuable".

Zameenah- It is pronounced "Thameenah" meaning valuable and precious. It should not be pronounced "Sameenah" as this means "fat and plump"!
